Toni Wine - Toni's Tune - River Deep - Mountain High

Another one to file under "what the fuck"? Not sure who Toni Wine is but she is obviously one sick human. If this record was made for children then you will know what a sadistic person Toni was because this will only give your child NIGHTMARES! I can't even begin to understand that there are actually song writing credits as well, since the sounds are obviously that of one of Satan's haunted Jack-In-The Boxes! And just what is with the banging in the background? Caskets closing and babies yawning.... just weird man, weird....

It never ceases to amaze me how many screwy & fucked up records there are in the world and just what were these people thinking when they pressed them?

Happy Nightmares!!!

Edit: Here the Wiki Low Down on Miss Toni Wine : If you so desire... Oh yeah, and i just found out this is from 1967.

toni wine does a great version of "river deep, mountain high"! i'm not joking, i had it on my computer but i lost it.. and if we're going to be really anal, she wrote that "groovy kind of love" song which was a BIG HIT in the 60s and famously fucked-up by phil collins in the 80s..

we like! but if no-one else but me would like to hear it, could you please send me an mp3 of the song? i would really appreciate it, and you could post the link in a comment on my page or something.. toni's version is cool, like they cut a few bits from the song so it would only last two and a half minutes to get more airplay than ike and tina's epic piece and it is an appealingly garagy production, although that's probably just the budget.. don't i go on? please send me an mp3, mr devil dick to put me out of my misery..

12/14/10Toni Wine was a songwriter for Screen Gems/Columbia music and a protege of Don Kirshner at the famous Brill Building of songwriters during the 1960's. She wrote songs for The Monkees, Neil Sedaka, Lesley Gore & contributed "Off & Running", a break-up song written with sometime partner for The Mindbenders to record for the Movie "To Sir With Love" (1967) starring Sidney Poitier. As a Solo singer, Colpix Records released some teen-inspired discs, some of which were moderately successful. This Senate single was issued by ABC records in 1967, & had some regional success, even though the version by Ike & Tina Turner hit in England some 6 months earlier.Yes, she was also a protege of Phil Spector, it was through her friendship with the late Ellie Greenwich & Barry Mann to led to this cover version of this often-covered song. one year later, she appeared with anonymous ghost group singer Ron Dante with Mr. Kirshner on some Archies recordings, including "Bang Shang A Lang" & "Sugar Sugar".
